Erika Kirk, widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and the organization’s new leader, endorsed a potential presidential bid by Vice President JD Vance on the opening night of the conservative youth group’s annual conference. After telling the cheering crowd that Turning Point would help keep Congress in Republican hands next year, she said, “We are going to get my husband’s friend JD Vance elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible.” Vance would be the 48th president if he takes office after Trump. Kirk’s statement on Thursday is the most explicit backing of Vance’s possible candidacy by a woman who has been positioned as a steward to her late husband’s legacy. Charlie Kirk had become a powerbroker and bridge builder within the conservative movement before he was assassinated in September. Vance is set to speak to Turning Point on Sunday, the conference’s last day. The convention has featured the usual spectacle and energy that have characterized the organization’s events, but the proceedings have also been marred by intense infighting among conservative commentators and estranged allies who have turned on each other in the wake of Kirk’s death.

President Donald Trump has suspended the federal green card lottery program after authorities confirmed that the suspect in the Brown University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology shootings entered the United States through the system. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Thursday that, at Trump’s direction, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is pausing the diversity visa lottery. In a post on social media, Noem described the suspect as a “heinous individual” who should never have been allowed into the country. The suspect, Claudio Neves Valente, a Portuguese national and former Brown University student, is accused of killing two Brown students, wounding nine others, and fatally shooting an MIT professor. He was later found dead in New Hampshire from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to officials. Neves Valente initially came to the U.S. on a student visa and later obtained legal permanent residency in 2017 through the diversity visa lottery program. The program, created by Congress, makes up to 50,000 green cards available each year to applicants from countries with historically low immigration rates to the United States. Trump has long criticized the lottery system, and the suspension is expected to face legal challenges since the program is established in federal law.

Federal authorities have confirmed that Claudio Neves Valente, the suspect in last weekend’s mass shooting at Brown University, is also linked to the fatal shooting of Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro. Neves Valente, 48, a former Brown student and Portuguese national, was found dead Thursday in a New Hampshire storage facility from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Investigators believe he acted alone in both incidents. At Brown, Neves Valente allegedly killed two students and wounded nine others in a lecture hall. Two days later, Loureiro was shot and killed at his home in the Boston suburbs, nearly 50 miles from Providence, Rhode Island. Authorities traced the suspect after a tip from a person who recognized him from security footage shared online. Surveillance cameras and a rental car led investigators to the New Hampshire location where Neves Valente was found dead with a satchel and firearms. Brown University officials confirmed that the suspect was enrolled as a graduate student in physics from 2000 to 2001. Loureiro and Neves Valente had previously attended the same academic program in Portugal from 1995 to 2000. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities continue to examine potential motives for the shootings.

The Trump administration is proposing new restrictions aimed at limiting access to gender-affirming care for children, marking the latest step in its broader crackdown on care for transgender Americans. The proposals, announced by the Department of Health and Human Services, would cut off federal Medicaid and Medicare funding from hospitals that provide gender-affirming care to minors. Federal officials say the measures are intended to reshape how such care is delivered nationwide. The changes are not final and are not yet legally binding. They must go through a lengthy federal rulemaking process, which includes public comment, and are expected to face legal challenges. The proposals also conflict with guidance from major medical organizations, including the American Medical Association, which support access to gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, signed binding agreements with three major investors to sell just over 80% of the company's U.S. assets to American and global investors to avoid a U.S. government ban, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew told employees on Thursday. The deal is a major step toward resolving years of uncertainty about the short video app's future in the United States since August 2020, when then President Donald Trump first tried unsuccessfully to ban the app that is now used regularly by more than 170 million Americans. The details of the deal are in line with one unveiled in September, when Trump delayed until January 20 enforcement of the law that bans the app unless its Chinese owners sell it amid efforts to extract TikTok's U.S. assets from the global platform. He also declared that the deal met the terms of the divestiture requirements. The company told employees on Thursday that ByteDance and TikTok signed binding agreements with three managing investors: Oracle, Silver Lake and MGX, to form a new TikTok U.S. joint venture named TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC. Oracle declined to comment. The White House referred questions to TikTok. TikTok said in the memo that the deal will enable "over 170 million Americans to continue discovering a world of endless possibilities as part of a vital global community. " The deal, set to close on January 22, would end years of efforts to force ByteDance to divest its U.S. business over national security concerns. Oracle, Silver Lake and Abu Dhabi-based MGX will collectively own 45% of the new entity, according to the memo, which confirms what Reuters and other outlets reported in September. The U.S. joint venture will be 50% held by a consortium of new investors, including Oracle, Silver Lake and MGX with 15% each; 30.1% held by affiliates of certain existing investors of ByteDance; and 19.9% will be retained by ByteDance, the memo said. ByteDance did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Former race driver Greg Biffle and members of his family were among seven people who died in a plane crash Thursday in North Carolina, state police said. The business jet erupted into a large fire when it hit the ground while trying to land at Statesville Regional Airport, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) north of Charlotte. Flight records show the plane was registered to a company run by Biffle. “Although the post-crash fire prevents us from releasing a definitive list of the occupants at this time, it is believed that Mr. Gregory Biffle and members of his immediate family were occupants of the airplane,” state police said. Biffle, 55, won more than 50 races across NASCAR’s three circuits, including 19 at the Cup Series level. He also won the Trucks Series championship in 2000 and the Xfinity Series title in 2002.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has unveiled a series of regulatory actions designed to effectively ban gender-affirming care for minors. The sweeping proposals announced Thursday are the most significant moves the Trump administration has taken to restrict the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgical interventions for transgender children — include cutting off federal Medicaid and Medicare funding from hospitals that provide such care. President Donald Trump has also signed an order that could reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug. The switch wouldn’t make cannabis recreationally legal nationwide. But it could open new avenues for medical research and reduce tax burdens on the industry.

President Donald Trump’s handpicked board has voted to rename Washington’s leading performing arts center as the Trump-Kennedy Center. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the vote on social media Thursday, saying it's because of the “unbelievable work" Trump has done over the last year in saving the building. Leavitt says that's not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction “but also financially, and its reputation.” The Republican Trump is chairman of the board and often refers to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as the ”Trump Kennedy Center." The center is named for his Democratic predecessor. A name change won’t sit well with some Kennedy family members.
